Professional preparation of the fire protection reports required to obtain a waste-management permit — services for Warsaw, Łódź and the surrounding area.

Preparation of the fire protection report for waste storage sites

The fire protection report (operat ppoż.) is a mandatory document required to obtain a permit for collecting, processing and/or generating waste. It is a key attachment to the application, assessing the compliance of waste-storage conditions with strict fire protection and safety engineering regulations.

When is a fire protection report required?

Every investor and business owner applying for a permit to collect, process or generate waste is required by law to hold a current fire protection report. The document is attached to the application submitted to the competent authority. This obligation applies to industrial operations, production halls and open storage areas alike.

Who may legally prepare the report?

Depending on the authority issuing the permit, the report may only be prepared by a person with specific fire-protection qualifications. Where the authority is the voivodeship marshal or the regional director for environmental protection — a fire protection expert (rzeczoznawca). Where the deciding authority is the district governor (starosta):

  • A fire engineer or a Master of Fire Engineering,
  • A graduate of SGSP (now the Fire University) in Fire Safety Engineering.

As a fire safety engineer I hold full authority to prepare reports for district-level authorities (starostwa).

Legal basis

  • Act of 14 December 2012 on waste (Journal of Laws 2023, item 1587, as amended)
  • Act of 27 April 2001 – Environmental Protection Law (Journal of Laws 2024, item 54, as amended)
